KM-138.1; Basso-56; PNM#6-166; PNM#16-361; PNM#21-VIII-157; Cacho-IX-CS-024; Gil-5-3-1-I. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1827-LIMA JM Peru Republic 8 Reales. Another SCARCE early date from this mint. We have seven documented examples with three different crown varieties (5-3-1-I[4], 5-4-1-I[1]; and 5-4-3-III[2]). The countermark is bold and clear, but slightly uneven, with sharp details on a nicely preserved host with plenty of remaining design elements. The surfaces are toned and attractive soft gray color with areas of lighter patination on the high points offering a pleasing appearance.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $600 - $800
